Trudeau is struggling with a half pint and I dont know what the f Obama is drinking.
My opinion, but I think even the far right from the 80s have moved closer to the middle. I also think the extreme move for the left has caused those middle who lean Republican to move towards the right.
Your 60s hippie liberal hated the man and protected free speech. Now the 2019 liberal hates free speech wants the man to run our lives.
Your second para there encapsulates it perfectly. I’d love to hear any lefty gainsay that particularly point. Gassy, that little snippet may be the best thing you’ve posted here.
John Wick.... “He’s not the boogeyman. He’s the man you send to kill the boogeyman.”
I used to be vehemently pro life. We have multiple generations of adoptions in our family - my dad was adopted, my brother and I were adopted, and my son is adopted.
I softened on it when we had our daughter and I thought about her potential choices and rights. I still think it should be limited to first trimester though, or in cases where the Mother’s life is in danger.

“Far right” is being pro Constitution, pro free speech, pro second amendment to protect yourself, wanting your nation’s laws enforced, not wanting to be overtaken by the third world who come to steal resources, bring crime, and change the culture of our land while expecting us to pay for their existence.
“Far right” is not being okay with murdering your baby out of convenience and letting the company who does it receive public funding. “Far right” is not wanting your money given to the government and to those who didn’t work for it. “Far right” is not participating in someone else’s mental illness about their gender. It’s thinking that “climate change” is not some dire thing where the government can save us with more taxes. “Far right” is thinking more government means more problems.

You implied it was Trump requesting it.
I think it was dumb for whomever to request that.
I mean, Trump is the CIC of the armed forces. So either it came from him, or his subordinates don’t respect him and made the call on their own. Neither is great.
It’s not that simple John, do you honestly think the President if the US gets involved in every detail of an appearance?
What does respect for the President have anything to do with a subordinate making that call? Having said all that, Trump May well have requested that, but I’d bet a large sum of money he didn’t even know the ship was there.
The mainstream has shifted from its traditional place right of center to left of center in that timeframe. The accompanying counter-culture has completely flipped along with it, instead of peace and love stoner hippies being a loud contrarian 15% it’s the traditionalist culture warriors. An angsty teen in 1972 was smoking weed and chanting at anti war rallies. Same angsty teen in 2019 is an edgelord smoking weed and railing against “incompetent” women ruining Call of Duty. The pendulum of culture swings back and forth, where it happens to find itself at the moment isn’t the problem. The problem is we’ve gotten more sophisticated with marketing and it’s more profitable to have a dedicated core of true believers that are behind you ideologically and monetarily than trying to pull in everyone with a bland mass appeal. Look at advertising campaigns these days, companies would rather take a stand on an issue and have 35% of the population buy their product just because of that stand than remain silent and hope not to alienate anyone. Both parties are looking to rally their base rather than reach across the aisle. And with only 40% of the country voting that’s what wins elections, which side can turn out more of their hardcore 25%.
Here’s the point. We gripe and bitch at each other on here, but I’d bet dollars to donuts that if your threw us all in a bar together, we’d all have a grand old time. I’d gladly watch a UK game with anyone who posts here.
I will admit that I have no clue what the far right in the 80s stood for. I was an adolescent in Canada then, and all I cared about was girls and hockey.
It does seem to me that things have gotten a lot more divisive. Maybe that’s me being naive, but I don’t remember this much vitriol during the Clinton and W presidencies. It could be that social media has exacerbated things and made opinions more accessible.

How expensive is the penis enlargement surgery? And is learning to speak jive difficult? I'm thinking of making the switch as well.
You don't give a shit about the media. Yeah, we heard you the first hundred times you posted that. Most of us feel like the media and what they report is pretty important to the overall fabric of the country. If you don't care, then don't comment on the subject. It's so simple even a canuck can do it.
It just seems more divisive because the political junkies and wanabees wont STFU. The internet lets them blab all day long and the media eat it up for $$$. 95% of Americans don't pay any attention to and don't give a shit about any of the bullshit posted on here. All they care about is making some money and smoking some weed.
He's either bi-polar or he's just trying too hard to look cool. I'm leaning towards the latter, based on how he loves bragging about his money.
A lot of the divisiveness comes because of the shift in work ethic, respect, and morality. A large portion of the last 2 generations have lost what it is to be American and have embraced the love affair the media and others have for what they see on TV and in the news as the greener side. By that I mean other cultures in the world. The world view if you will. Problem is, the real world view is not what is being painted. Go live in these countries for a while and you would see. Many of these cultures are starting to feel the pressure of their mistakes into liberal policies and are revolting against it.
The entitlement culture has also been a thorn in the side of these countries and ours as well. Many Americans want instant comfort in their financial standing without the hard work and sacrifice sometimes needed to get there. Many older people in this country feel this is a burden on us and are fighting it tooth and nail.
Morality is also another issue we have which helps divide our peoples because of the difference in what we perceive as moral. I will use the most glaring example of today to prove the point, abortion. On one side you have those who feel human life (innocent life) begins upon conception and should be protected but, are for the death penalty for violent criminals. The other side believes that it is not human until it is fully formed or born. That and it should be the woman's decision whether to abort/kill (it is what is being done) because it is her body. In the next breath these same people will protect the life of violent criminals because it is inhumane to put them to death.
All of this for me centers around respect. Many today do not respect anything other than what is effecting their lives. The hard work that earlier Americans (Yes all Americans from slaves to Indians and others who were wrongly mistreated) did to build this great country. No system is perfect but, our way of governance and capitalistic view is what put us on top and kept us there for many years. It is only in recent years (decades of bad policies) that we started to see things waiver. We have lost the respect of what all of those before us sacrificed to make us what we are, Americans.
This was just an opinion piece of an old soldier who loves this country dearly and am a nationalist pure and simple. Don't care how the nationalist label sounds, the definition of nationalist in today's culture is wrong.

They may know which cable package i subscribe to but not what i actually watch. out of a 100+ channels i only watch a select few and rarely anything on the networks except golf and college basketball.
Mainly discovery, history, cooking shows, old movies. i get most news on radio unless there’s a particular incident i’m following.
These milkshake throwers need some ass whippings.
That describes how I do it also. I never watch networks or the crazy lefty cable shows. I am watching Fox News Network less and less. Say maybe 2 or 3 hours a week. Tops
Nah. Too many commercials. I'd rather DVR it & start when live is in 4Q. I catch up so I can take 5 minutes to watch last 30 sec live.
For those who don’t want to read War and Peace on a message board, here’s the condensed version:
Get off my porch.
For those who don't want to read liberal propaganda garbage. Here's the condensed version:
Orange man bad.
They know exactly what you watch. How do you think Google knows exactly which ads to blast you with when you watch pornhub. Because your cable company sells them your viewing history. All modern cable uses SDV to get you matched with what you choose, this easily let's them know and log everything you do. With digital cable they can target specific ads to individual viewers or just smaller market areas with ATP. Europe they can't use this info, in the US they can do whatever the **** they want cause conservatives don't believe in data privacy. If you have a smart TV it also tracks and sells everything you watch unless you actually read your TOS and opted out which you didn't. All the companies say they protect this data and would never use it inappropriately, they are all lying POS. The only place you are safe from data collection is the pharmacy, HIPPA is a mean mofo

Those pesky conservatives. Everything is always their fault and their fault alone.
Damn, look at her form. Wonder if she has any eligibility left
Aha hahahaha holy hell she is shooting the baby like a basketballDamn, look at her form. Wonder if she has any eligibility left
Well those conservati
Well those conservatives (a misnomer at best) have lied to the American public about, well damn near everything but most of all how they ran up a quarter of a TRILLION dollars in debt last month alone. Funny how they don't speak of such matters when they are in office. The historical record about this is simply something they either ignore altogether or lied about.
I'm down with your post but don't think I understand this part. Are you saying nationalist is defined as bad or good or something else? To me it's good & F those that think otherwise.
It was the 80s, things are likely cheaper now... but doc said I was in acceptable parameters already so didn't need to augment my junk, thankfully.
I have no regrets.
Cardkilla is most definitely the exception to that statement.
Damn, look at her form. Wonder if she has any eligibility left
So I guess black lives don't matter?
Legal abortion is one thing, celebrating and fantasizing the discarding of babies is another.
Check ole girl's twitter feed, other like-minded individuals saying things not like "women have the right to choose...some situations may be dire from a health perspective with the woman's life in the balance..." but "F*** them kids..." and an image of an Alexa with an alarm reminder saying "Defeat the Baby"
Folks, this has evolved beyond a legal precedent. I invite any liberal on this board to justify not the choice, that's been and will continue to be debated til the end of time, but the modern popular culture where discarding life is something that is celebrated with images of babies literally being thrown away.
Please justify the ever-growing mentality of "f*** safe birth control, abstinence, protection...I'll just get an abortion, the hell with babies."
